The Rode between Denver and Boston

Today is Rode's birthday!

I have loved this guy since the day I met him, and now that he is officially my son - well words can't express the love we feel for this man!

He is awesome! He is smart, talented, ambitious, studious, fun, loving and caring, conscientious, a wonderful son and a great father.

Truthfully, the list goes on and on. Most importantly he is a perfect fit for Katie and we are so happy to have him in our family. We love you Rode! Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday

Today is my brother's birthday. You know someone is getting old when their pony tail and beard are as gray as the fur on their Siberian Husky. Happy birthday Billy.

For all chocoholics out there

I admit I stole this from Ariane and Mike's blog!

The Beach

Well, I wasn't going to post anything about this, but Larry and I have been on "the beach" for several weeks now. Let's just say that I have been diligently on "the beach" and Larish has begrudgingly gone along with this bit of whimsy in my life, sneaking the bargain candy bars at Cumberland Farms whenever he thinks he can get away with it.

It's working. I know this because of the scales, and the fit of my clothes.

Larish also knows this, but he says there is no change in what the scale says.

So how does he know this?

Remember the post "This Old House" below?

Well, he reached up to work on the ceiling, and his pants dropped to his ankles!

Right there in the bay window - for all of Milton and the world beyond to see!

Way to go, Larish!

I'm in Heaven

Trip to the zooooooooooo!

Alexander and I needed a break from babies, so we headed to the zoo one day this summer. We had so much fun!
Alexander loved the snakes, but I loved the tigers! They were VERY close. They are such a beautiful animal, powerful, colorful. We had a most excellent day!





















Look at this guy!
